MAX GORDON’s grandmother was the librarian in their tiny upstate New York town, and never restricted Max to kiddie books: if she could reach it, she could read it. Inspired by what she read, and by the desire to share a shelf with her favorite authors, Max probably wrote and illustrated her first story the day she learned to hold a crayon—and she’s been scribbling ever since. After earning a master’s degree in writing and publishing from USC, she worked in publishing, typesetting, marketing, design, and procrastinating, but has never stopped being a writer. She has one son (the light of her life) and a partner (the soundtrack of her life), and lives contentedly wherever there’s waterfront, WiFi, and great coffee.

Despite my best intentions to finish in time for a spring release, the second book in the Kit McCormick mystery series won’t hit the shelves (or the e-readers) until later this year. I’m hoping for an October publication date. Maybe a Halloween-themed release party?

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
"I really connected with this book, I listened to the audiobook and devoured it in a couple of days.

Overall, this is a simple tale, but full of meaning and nuance. The basic premise is that Hannah has been married to Owen for just under two years. He" Read more of this review »
